Abstract

The critical grinding depth of the brittle-plastic transition is an important value in the ultrasonic vibration-assisted electrolytic in-process dressing (UAELID) grinding. In this pursuit, the present study was envisaged to provide a theoretical and experimental basis for the realization of efficient, controllable grinding, and minimal damage during the grinding. Theoretical models of critical grinding depth of UAELID grinding and electrolytic in-process dressing (ELID) grinding were established by the kinematics analysis of the single abrasive and indentation stress field analysis. Model simulation results indicated that the critical grinding depth could be controlled by changing the machining parameters. Two different types of precision grinding were carried out using zirconia-toughened alumina (ZTA) ceramic artifacts. The range of the critical grinding depth was judged synthetically by employing the processing observation method. Also, the removal methods of the different grinding depth were analyzed. The experimental results showed that under the similar conditions, the ductile area processing range in the UAELID grinding was extended, along with an improvement in the machining efficiency and surface quality compared to ELID.
